Allies Mule-headed Man
Well, I fell from grace like a tonne of bricks, but my head is hard and my skin is thick,
Got a coal-black heart, and a made up mind that I ain’t gonna leave no love behind.
Oh yeah, so hard to understand,
Lord, have mercy on a mule-headed man.
You just give me an inch, and I’ll take a mile, ‘cause taking orders just ain’t my style,
You can keep on talking, baby, but it won’t change me; I’m the stubbornest man that there’ll ever be.
Come on, so hard to understand,
Lord, have mercy on a mule-headed man.
TV preachers say that God is poor; I can have more money if I send him more,
If I drain my wallet, God’ll fill my cup,
Will the real, live Jesus please stand up?
I’ll just take what’s yours, and I’ll keep what’s mine,
I’m a two-time loser with a one-tracked mind,
I’m as mean and cruel as a mule can be,
Roll over Balaam, you got nothing on me.
So hard to understand,
Lord, have mercy on a mule-headed man,
I said, Lord, have mercy; I’m a mule-headed man,
Lord, have mercy; I’m a mule-headed man.
Come on,
Yeah,
Come on,
Hey,
Come on,
Yeah,
Come on,
Whoa.
